Team List is a plugin that helps you to create a simple team site using your WordPress users with various display options. Either use a block, a shortcode, a template tag or the built-in widget to display blog authors.
After creating similar functionality for a couple of clients, we decided to roll our knowledge into this simple plugin. It’s really straightforward to use:
First of all, the plugin adds a small checkbox to the user profile in WordPress to toggle its visibility in the team list. This means you can decide for every user whether he should show up in the team list or not.
You can then use one of these ways to display the list anywhere on your site.
Action
Use the <code>wp_team_list</code> hook to directly display the users in your theme or plugin.
For example, you can show users of any role ordered by their name:
<pre><code><?php
echo do_action( 'wp_team_list', array( 'role' => 'all', 'orderby' => 'name' ) );
?>
</code></pre>
Note: Team List supports many of the arguments <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query" title="WordPress Codex Codex WP_User_Query" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>WP_User_Query</code></a> supports.
Block
Use the “Team List” block in the block-based editor to display one or more team lists in any post types. You can select one or more roles and change the order. If you want you can also provide a link to a full team page.
Shortcode
Use the <code>[wp_team_list]</code> shortcode to display a team list in your posts. Supported arguments:
<ul>
<li><code>role</code> – Filter users by roles (comma-separated). 
Use <code>all</code> to show users with any role. 
Default: <code>administrator</code></li>
<li><code>orderby</code> 
Default: <code>post_count</code></li>
<li><code>order</code> – Either <code>asc</code> or <code>desc</code>. 
Default: <code>desc</code>.</li>
<li><code>include</code> – Filter users with specific IDs (comma-separated).</li>
<li><code>has_published_posts</code> – Filter users with published posts. 
Either a comma-separated list of post types or <code>true</code> to filter by all post types.</li>
</ul>
Example:
<pre><code>[wp_team_list role="author" orderby="last_name" order="desc"]
</code></pre>
Pro tip: If you use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-ui/" rel="ugc">Shortcake WordPress plugin</a>, you’ll get an inline preview of the shortcode right in the visual editor. You can also add the shortcode with the click of a button.
Widget
Want do display the team members in your sidebar? Use the built-in WordPress widget. You can set the role you want, the number of users to show and even link to a separate team page.

This plugin uses the custom taxonomy features of WordPress to create “bylines” — essentially, tags representing authors who contributed to a post. The differentiating feature of this plugin is that it should not require any modifications to your theme files (assuming it is already displaying the post author).
This plugin would be useful for publishing situations where the majority of your content is from contributors who you don’t necessarily want to have access to your back-end. It still conveys the appearance that the authors are members of the site (it provides a built-in archive page for each Byline). If your theme displays tag descriptions, you could use the Byline description field to identify guests vs. “staff” writers or provide other author information.
You can see an example of this plugin at work at http://thedailycougar.com

Byline

The Byline plugin is simple and suitable for multi-author WordPress sites.

Best For Multi Author

Solves the co/multi-author problem without modifying the theme. Uses a custom taxonomy, "Byline," that replaces the Display Author.
